Freehand embroidery

 

I didn't add a picture of my embroidery when I finished it last week.  I sketched the design freehand using an air erasable pen, and added extra bits as I went along.

Totoro!

  

I finished crocheting this small white Totoro, apart from his small pink feet.  The eyes are a bit far apart and the tail is a bit high.  I used a pattern available free here: http://heavens-hellcat.livejournal.com/730.html.

New wool!!

I found a haberdashery in Westbury-on-Trym which has a bit of everything - paper, scrapbooking, wool, fabric, ribbon, stuffing...  So I couldn't resist buying a few cheap balls of wool that I can use for making toys, etc.

I also collected my parcel today with my delivery of King Cole Merino Blend DK wool in a range of pretty colours, which I'm going to use to create granny square cushion covers or something, in the style of this throw.

So here's the total collection of wool that I have acquired today:

It makes me very happy looking on Ravelry and seeing my 'stash' all laid out in colour order!
